- HIPAA-compliant AWS infrastructure
- Multi-language support (English, Spanish, Chinese)
Key Features
- Smart branching logic based on patient responses
- Real-time data validation
- Progress saving functionality
- Automated scoring for common health assessments
- Custom analytics dashboard for healthcare providers
